Hi everybody, I had a question I'd like to ask all of you, and was hoping I could get some advice.
I recently got into home brewing, and my fiancee and I recently learned that we are providing the alcohol for our wedding reception. I thought it would be really fun and creative to be able to serve my home brew! After thinking, we decided on brewing 15 gallons of what my fiancee has titled: "nupti-ale", but we're stuck on how to serve it.
I wasn't keen on bottles, because I don't particularly want people stirring up all the sediment. Frankly, I also don't want to worry about all of the work that would come with bottling that amount of liquid. The next option is to keg, but this is where I get stuck because I simply don't know that much about them.
Preferrably, I'd like to use the 5 gallon corny kegs because I could use them after the wedding for myself. Aside from that, I'm not sure where to go from there. Do I buy/make a kegerator and lug that thing to the reception hall? I have been reading and trying to learn, and I recently learned about jockey boxes. What about that? Assuming a reception of about 300~ people, what would be the best storing and serving method in your opinion? One thing to consider is that whatever system is used, I would really like to be able to use it for future brews instead of using bottles after the wedding.
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it
